Description

A simple low altitude craft which has varied little in design through each play through .. It’s low tech design coupled with the single juno engine, high maneuverability, and low stall speed makes this craft an ideal training platform for atmospheric flight .. Adjusting the control authority on the roll and pitch control surfaces allows the craft to adhere to individual flight styles (I personally like a lower rate of roll)

The A3s fuel efficiency and low part count also allows the craft to be well suited for those early low altitude survey contracts around the KSC or gaining some extra science from the nearby desert and highland biomes. (While a mountain landing is possible with this craft it is highly unrecommended)

Highly favored by Valentina Kerman
She thinks it’s cute

Known Design issues:
Pulls very high Gs with default authority settings .. Recommend adjusting these settings in the SPH if you play with G force affects enabled.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.4.1.
